Cheap Paleo Breakfast Casserole

This  Paleo Breakfast casserole takes some time, but it is well worth it in my opinion. You will make 4-5 weeks of breakfast so you won’t have to make it again for a month!!

I  Ingredients

j             36 eggs $6.30

6 color bell peppers $6.98 

6 cups fresh spinach $5.00

1 sweet onion $.65

2 medium sweet potatoes $1.90

Total= $20.83
24 servings

$.87 a serving

Wash all vegetables.

Chop bell peppers and onion into ½ inch cubes. Get a very large sauté pan and heat 1Tbs olive oil.

Put peppers and onion in sauté pan and season with 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Sauté bell peppers and onion on medium heat and cook until just tender, approx 8-10 minutes. You don’t want to over cook because it will continue to cook in the oven later

Place peppers and onion in a colander in a large bowl to help drain the liquid

While pan is still hot add 1Tsb (second Tbs of oil will be used in just a minute keep it close) olive oil. Place 1-2 handfuls of spinach in it.  Have spices measured out because you need to work fast. Use approx half of your spices. Toss spinach until it is starts to wilt. Take the spinach out and put it on a cutting board. Use the left over oil and spices and cook the rest of spinach. After all spinach is cooked chop it up finely. Place spinach into the colander with the peppers and onion. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 baking pans approx 6”x13” with foil for easy clean up

I don't have a picture of the sweet potatoes, but I put the instructions in here.

Peel and chop sweet potatoes into ½ inch cubes, place sweet potatoes in a microwave safe bowl, add 1 inch of water, microwave sweet potatoes for about 5 minutes or until soft, set aside and let cool.

Crack eggs in a large bowl and mix with an immersion blender. Add cooled vegetables and potatoes and mix with the immersion blender just enough to merry the vegetables and eggs.

Pour equal parts of egg mix into each pan. Place in oven for 40-50 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the middle of the casserole to see if it is done-the toothpick should come out clean.

Let the eggs cool for about 20 minutes

Cut the egg casserole into desired pieces and place in plastic bags.

To warm: take egg out of bag, wrap with paper towel, put on microwave safe plate, microwave for 2-3 minutes or until it is at desired temperature. 

Serve with a side of bacon and avocado.

Ristorante Pizza Review

I heard about this pizza from Our Twin Life YouTube channel. I love pizza so I thought I'd give it a try. Well, it turns out it was almost impossible for me to find this brand of pizza. Finally I stumbled upon it at Winn Dixie. I rarely shop at Winn Dixie because I have a grocery store walking distance from my house, but I was near one and needed to grab a few quick items.  As I was strolling down the frozen foods isle I peaked over and there it was. I was so excited! Yes, my life has come to getting excited over frozen pizza. I was a little surprised at the size of the pizza and the price. It is 11.5oz at $5.99. I had a coupon printed out from coupons.com, but I didn't have it with me (amateur couponer mistake)  All well, I bought it anyway.
I got the Pizza Mozzarella to keep things simple.
The instructions were simple, as with most frozen pizza:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Keep pizza frozen until oven heats to 425 F
Open pizza and place on rack
Bake for 12-15 minutes

I needed to bake mine for 15 minutes because I like my cheese a little
bubbly.

Results:
The pizza cooked nicely. It came out a little brown, but not over cooked. I liked the circles of mozzarella and the little areas of basil sauce. The pizza wasn't too saucy and there was small chopped  up tomato through out. The crust was crispy, but not too hard.
Over all it was a tasty, crispy pizza. Next time I will look for a better deal and remember to bring my coupons.
This pizza is: Recommended

Breakfast

Start the day off right with egg, cheese, sausage and potato burrito
...don't forget the chalula sauce.

Today was a gorgeous day
